About: I have many years of experience with house and pet sitting while living in Colorado. Any of my past clients there would tell you they trusted me implicitly with their homes and their pets. I was given total access to their homes on a permanent basis by most to step in when my services were needed. This resulted in months at a time being booked solid for my services. I fall in love with your dogs and cats that I take care of and I treat them with kindness as if they were my own. I have handled numerous pets with special needs and medications,, etc. I live slightly north of Kansas City, but am available for anyone in the metro area and surrounding communities.
“Olivia is a wonderful sitter. She sent us detailed messages with pictures each day. We booked her to stay for an hour every time and she successfully brought our shy kitty out of his shell for some cuddling. She's reliable, on time and pays attention to detail. You can't go wrong with Olivia.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. All different breeds and all different sizes. I’ve always known the importance of keeping a good eye on them and knowing their regular attitude. I know how serious something can be even when the dogs attitude just switched a little bit. I know the importance of showing your love and care for animals as it can really help comfort them or just make them happy. I currently work part time so I do have a lot of freetime to help out and look after/ care for peoples animals who need it. I’m available anyday especially weekends to watch/walk ur pets!! In my home my dog has an open field to run in a water bowl outside inside and in my room. He also gets kenneled sometimes depending on how long im leaving for and such but at night he sleeps in bed with me or on the floor if he gets too hot.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies and other small dogs since I was 15. Neighbors and friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk and feed their fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to walk anytime. I try to get out in the fresh air daily as needed. So excited! I have a friendly, lovable dog that will keep you fur baby company. I also will make sure the pet is well feed. I can easily crate if needed.
About: I worked as a vet tech and helped administer the best care I could to dogs and cats of all breeds. If your furry friend needs anything I’m there to help! Baths and nail clippings are not a hassle for me! I’m currently not working in the pet care industry as I’ve just recently relocated to tiffin but I’ve always loved helping animals in any way I can, so I’d love to help yours! I’ve always seen safety and comfortability as the two top priorities when taking care of any animal, mine or anyone else’s. I will always make sure to keep your furry friends as safe and as comfortable as possible!
About: Hello! My baby girl Stormy keeps me on my toes! I also love dogs and enjoy taking them for walks! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I work full time during the day but am always looking for fun to fill my evenings with and animals are the best way to do that! I enjoy taking care of all pets, making sure they have food, water and get plenty of exercise. I can also make sure they get their medicine when needed.
About: I treat every dog like family—not just a job. I learn their quirks, their favorite toys, and what makes their tail wag. I build trust with both dogs and their humans, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I will ALWAYS send updated pictures a videos! Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority I plan around, not squeeze in. I only accept clients I can fully commit to—meaning your pet gets the time, energy, and attention they deserve. I offer early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m highly organized to keep everything running smoothly. Pet care isn’t a side hustle for me—it’s a passion I build into my daily life. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structure. I stick closely to their home routines—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they get mental stimulation, physical activity, and lots of love throughout the day. In-home care means your pet stays in their familiar space, which helps reduce stress. I keep everything consistent with your instructions—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, play, and downtime. I respect your home like it’s my own and always send updates, photos, and quick check-ins to keep you at ease while you’re away.
About: I am a caring, easy going, and loving individual who loves to spend his days hanging out with animals! I have two pups of my own, and several niece and nephew cats/dogs. Theater is a hobby, but animals are my passion! I am a theater/history major and am home during the day Monday-Friday. I spend around 3-4 hours a evening working on plays. However, do take note Saturdays I am typically gone for a few hours in the afternoon-evening. I have enough time to love, care for, and play with your babies! I specialize in caring for elderly and high energy dogs. I have worked with multiple Belgian Malinois and dog sit for a family that has two Belgian Malinois, and a Great Pyrenees. Both of which have drastically different lifestyles. I play with, care for, and love on each animal differently depending on its needs! I had a dog with diabetes who got three injections a day. This required a schedule that was easy for me to pick up on!
About: I have never not had a dog in my home. I have owned breeds from chihuahuas to great danes. I will take care of your pet like it is my own! I currently am open all day every day. I don't have a job as of right now, so I am looking to help anyone out. I could take your pets to parks, car rides, walks, etc. Anything they enjoy I will do! I can spend all my time with your pets without complaints!
“Ali was great to work with. She let us know when she was on her way and sent pictures of our fur babies every time. Process was easy. This will allow my wife and I to go on more vacations. Would highly recommend Ali I We will be using her again soon.”
About: My first pet sitting job was of 2 Boston Terriers at 9, since then I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, ducks, chickens, donkey, etc! I have been called a horse whisperer and my special talent in life is that I can get any introverted, sad, scared, animal to come out of it’s shell and feel at ease. I have taken care of farm animals in Nova Scotia, I’ve dog sat in Sweden, I’ve taken care of animals in CA, and I just love animals in general. I am extremely flexible, I work from home and have a sweet dog of my own who is playful and gentle with other animals. I, my husband or even our family as a whole take care of our animals first thing in the morning and at night, and I take time throughout the day to give them love and attention. I am home most of the time, I have lots of space to take your dog out to play (set up like a park but not fenced in, I can take them on a leash as needed) I have a kennel if you need or can set up yours. If you have a cat, my dog is used to them, though she does have an energetic greeting but we can separate them. I’m also happy to come visit your darlings at their home and make them feel comforted and ease. I’m one of those crazy animal ladies who likes to talk to animals, so I’ll soothe them and let them know you’ll be home soon!
About: I am a college student trying to make a little extra money by taking care of some awesome dogs. I helped take care of two dogs growing up. I had an English bulldog for 11 years and I had another dog that is a mix of a lot of breeds that is now 7. I now have my own dog named Obi who is a poodle and is 9 months old. I have enjoyed helping train and care for all of them. I currently work part time doing odd jobs so I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop in visits plus do house sittings. Morning and late afternoon drop in visits would be the best. I keep my dog Obi well cared for and make sure to give him exercise and plenty of love. I am willing to feed them, give them water, play with them, and take them for walks just like I do my own dogs.

“My dog, Cooper, and I highly recommend Dean to be your new dog sitter! He is the best we've ever had, hands down. Dean is trustworthy, thorough, LOVING, and super dependable. I never had any worries when I was away from my pet and house. Cooper and I moved in the last year and I haven't found a new dog caregiver yet.. it will be VERY tough to replace Dean!”

Tyler K.
“Tyler has dog sat for me MANY times and he does an amazing job every single time. We have two Belgian Malinois, Great Pyrenees, cat, and two Leopard Geckos. He gives great detail and attention to every single animal. My animals range from high energy to super low maintenance, but he stills gives each and everyone all the attention in the world. We leave long lists of what needs to be done and he doesn’t over look a thing. After every stay he strips the bed sheets, throws them in the wash, does dishes, plays with the pups till they are worn out, and leaves the house how he found it.”
